Abstract: An image data transmission system reduces a delay resulting from compression processing of image data.  The image data transmission system comprises cameras for compress encoding image data and transmitting compress-encoded image data, a decoder, a control device, monitors, and a LAN. Upon selection of a camera from the control device for control, the control device acquires information on capabilities of the cameras through the LAN.  When a function which is affected by a delay due to the compress-encoding is used from among functions of the controlled camera, compress-encoding that reduces the delay is performed in the camera.

Title: System for removing spurious signatures in motor current signature analysis
Inventor: KLIMAN GERALD BURT
IPC: G01R31/34
Filed: 1999-09-21
Abstract: A method for removing spurious signals in a process of motor current signature analysis of an electric motor includes creating an electronic model of the motor, acquiring simultaneous measurements of voltage and current at the motor, applying the voltage measurement to the motor model and determining an equivalent current produced in the model by the applied voltage, subtracting the equivalent current from the current measurement to produce a corrected motor current, and processing the corrected motor current through motor current signature analysis. For an ac motor, the method includes extracting signals corresponding to the fundamental excitation frequency from the voltage measurement to produce an interfering voltage, processing the interfering voltage through the motor model to produce a corresponding spurious current signal, and subtracting the spurious current signal from the measured current to produce to produce the corrected motor current signal for analysis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a notching machine for forming a radial notch into a workpiece, such as the side or end of a tube, pipe or rod. The notching machine includes a workpiece positioning assembly, a hub and spindle assembly, an offset mechanism, a hub drive mechanism and a spindle drive mechanism. The workpiece positioning assembly includes a cross slide table and a vice for gripping and positioning the workpiece into a desired position. The hub and spindle assembly includes a hub that is rotatably mounted on a hub rotation assembly. The hub rotation assembly rotates about a central axis of rotation. The hub carries a spindle and its tool. The hub, spindle and tool share a common axis. This common axis is the axis of rotation of the spindle and tool. The hub, spindle and tool can be aligned in an in-line or offset manner with respect to the central axis. The offset mechanism includes an offset adjustment screw that offsets the common axis of the hub, spindle and tool a desired distance from the central axis. When the hub and spindle are offset and rotated about the central axis, the tool orbits about the central axis through a desired circular path of travel. The radius of the notch cut by the tool is adjusted by adjusting the amount of offset. The hub drive mechanism is hand driven by the machine operator via a hand wheel. The spindle drive mechanism is driven by an electric motor that is directly linked to the spindle. The motor is secured to a frame of the machine via a torque arm.

Abstract: Provided are methods, apparatus, and computer programs for self-generating device names for communications devices using processes running on the device. The device names are then used to enable the devices to be identified during network communications. This avoids the configuration overhead inherent in requiring unique device names to be allocated by a central naming authority. Uniqueness of device names is achieved by a class-based naming convention in which class names are associated with device types and unique device identifiers are allocated for devices within a class. The device identifiers of one class may have a very different format from device identifiers in other classes, and processes are provided for interpreting the different formats of device identifier to identify individual devices.

Abstract: A method of connecting a calling party connect to the PSTN to a called party connected to an IP network. When a calling party wishes to initiate a voice over IP call to a called party, the calling party need only connect to the IP network through an IP gateway and dial the PSTN telephone number of the called party to complete an IP connection to the called party. An IP gateway or other database is used to perform the necessary translations of addressing and routing information between the PSTN and the IP network for the call to reach its intended destination. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the same PSTN directory number assigned to a party for PSTN calls is also used as a designator for that party's IP address. As such, the PSTN dial plan is reused in association with calls placed over an IP network to that party.
